Ultraprocessed Food Intake and Risk of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Among Women Observed in the Nurses' Health Study Cohorts

Women fond of consuming ultra-processed foods may have increased propensity to come down with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

​This study examined the consumption of ultra-processed foods in relation to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in women. Researchers followed 204,175 US women over a 40-year period, monitoring their diet and health. 

The risk of acquiring systemic lupus erythematosus was found to move in the upward direction among women with high intake of ultra-processed foods. The data from this study suggested that indulgence in ultra-processed foods may propel a woman on the path that lead to the development of systemic lupus erythematosus.
